mods look really good. not sure i would have done the synthetic change that late in the game. sometimes after you've used conventional for so long synthetic will hurt things (cause loose valve seals, etc.)

Jay, you wouldn't like that cover. You're all blacked out and this thing is painted white to match my truck. Plus the previous owner had a rack on it and has 4 bolts in the top of it. You're talking fiberglass work. lol
